Are you tired of the endless cycle of fad diets, temporary weight loss, and inevitable rebound?
Let's dive into the real reasons why fad diets are a no-go and how you can break free from their grip for good.
Quick Fixes & Water Weight Loss:
Have you ever wondered why fad diets seem to offer quick results, only for them to vanish just as fast? It all comes down to water weight.
When you start a fad diet, your body taps into its stored sugar (glycogen) for energy, which releases stored water.
As a result, you initially shed water weight, not fat, giving the illusion of rapid weight loss.
You're thrilled with the results but in reality, you haven't actually lost any substantial weight. It's just temporary fluid loss that's bound to return once you resume your normal eating habits.
Muscle Loss: The Silent Saboteur of Metabolism
Did you know that fad diets not only target fat but also muscle mass?
Shockingly, about 43% of the weight lost on these diets comprises muscle.
This muscle loss slows down your metabolism, making it harder to burn calories efficiently. This means that when you inevitably regain the weight (as most people do), your body requires even fewer calories, setting you up for a vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting.
The real culprit behind cravings and failed diets?
It's not your body; it's your mind.
Until you address the underlying thoughts and behaviours driving your eating habits, you'll find yourself stuck in the dieting merry-go-round, perpetually chasing quick fixes.
